He was great against Geelong and loved seeing him roll the years back but they've only got about a quarter a game out of him for the rest. Hope he can have one more big game in front of a home crowd but seems unlikely. Maybe one more from the pocket at Adelaide Oval.

I shot down someone for mentioning Burgoyne earlier in the thread but he was honestly a liability tonight. Kicked a goal from a generous free but several times Hawthorn had momentum until it got to Burgers and went straight back the other way.
Been brilliant for a long time so has credits in the bank but has been very much out of form since the resumption.

Pains me to say it but Robbie Gray looks like a husk of the shadow of himself.

Zaharakis played on Macmillan.
Macmillan has been gifting contract extension to spuds for years.

He is not a champion of the game ffs. He never even reached his potential as a mid. In the end just a good player. That is all. The only time he was a top twenty player in the afl was for one or two seasons at Port.That sounds just like every North player
25 vs 22 last night and you still couldn't win
I see Burgoyne's name being mentioned quite often in this thread. I suppose a 38 year old player is an easy target for simpletons in a thread such as this. Except Burgoyne is still comfortably in Hawthorn's best 22, so it's mainly wishful thinking. He's a champion of the game who still beats opponents 10 years younger than him in the one-on-ones.
That's over-rating his contribution against us I think - he was reasonable but did get pretty limited supply, to be fair.

Pacing himself.... Will come good when it matters
That's not age, that's just shape. Stewie Dew board, I think.
Hurr hurr hurr, but I should also add that a) the Geelong board has lost a fair bit patience with Rohan, and b) Rohan plays deep, deep forward in a side that doesn't exactly give their forwards a great chance

Yet somehow the Cats are the highest scoring team in the league, with the #1 goal assist and score involvement player (Tom Hawkins) leading the charge.
We all agree rohan is sh**. Stop flogging a dead horse.

Think Betts at least deserves to the end of the year especially based on his performance against the Bulldogs.
I know some will not like it but even though Simpson still does good things , I think he should've retired a year ago (at least).
At this stage he's just taking the place of an up and coming young player whom we need to blood for the experience.

My post was a month old. Betts has been good since then. Simpson has lifted yet again. Curnow too has more than held his own. Murph and Kreuzer still have issues.
You can only make the call based on form at the time. The players have the time to make you change your mind.

- Marc Murphy has less physical presence than Caleb Daniel
- Cale Hooker was playing reasonable footy but calf injuries are usually it’s over.
- Stratton could be the worst captain of the 21st century.
- Heath Shaw’s weird errors seem to happening more and more often lately

Betts has been great for Carlton. Cost them nothing.
The players and fans love him.
He’s performing and it’s a great feel good story. If they hadn’t taken full control of the list of SOS we wouldn’t be seeing him in navy blue this year.
Butler would have been the better decision long term, but Eddies been good, and fun to watch.

He's been reasonable till that kick last night....
Not great by any stretch, but he was filling a role, albeit that's done now.
